Retaining ring I assume you mean the ring on the driveshaft? Those aren't stock so what brand are they? If that brand makes a rebuild kit it might have these rings or maybe you can find it elsewhere if you can figure out the size. They look like the old Junfac driveshafts that used a retaining ring to hold the drive pin in place. Its not the best design as they tend to pop loose on their own. A bit of heat shrink or a dab of CA to hold it in place is a good idea. Last edited by HumboldtEF; 05-28-2021 at 08:01 PM. |

Like humboldtEF said, You can use electrical shrink wrap. When it shreds, you can do it again, and again, and again...

Retaining ring! Thanks a lot.. I'll use some heat shrink to keep it place. Thanks for the help guys, it's not a name brand. I bought a Chinese scx10 clone... I know, I know, don't roast me....lol Quote:

The heatshrink is meant to hold the ring in place not do the rings job, it may hold the pin in place though. maybe do multiple layers. | |

Thanks for the helps guys! I've got another question here... Picture I'm putting this kit together and I've got 2 long links, 4 medium links and 2 short links. I cannot for the life of me figure out where to put them I've tried a few different ways and nothing worked. I know it's a noob question but I appreciate the help guys. Thanks!!! |
